Hi, We're currently with BT and haven't had too many issues. Since moving here 18 months ago, things have changed in the sense that we've ditched Sky and just watch TV via the internet. We've got a a video doorbell and a couple of nest cameras, my now works from home. All of this has had a bit...

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 (3200mhz 6 cores) RAM: 3 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance MOBO: ASROC AB350 Pro4 GPU: Nvidea GeForce GTX 1050ti PSU: EVGA 500 BQ bronze It's a few years old now, so not fast by any stretch. I have thought about upgrading the CPU as well in the hope of increasing performance, but not...

Hi, I've been busy video editing for my small YouTube channel. I've spent ages working on this video, its been a real pain to put together and I've spent hours editing it. I thought I'd exported and turned my PC off. Anyway, this morning I turned my PC on and the resolution of the screen was...

What is the best way to mirror a screen? I currently have a desktop PC which I use for gaming and use a chrome book for mobile use around the house. I'd like to break away from the desktop PC for gaming and have tried the steam link app, but its really laggy and inputs are slow to respond. Is...

I was leaning more towards the 1050ti, I did use PC part picker but they don't have any stock (although it says more due soon) so I got the prices from Amazon. I think it's probably worth spending the extra for the 1050 Ti.

I've just bought a used desktop and had planned on either upgrading the GPU to either: GTX 1050 2gb (£114.99) RX 560 4gb (£148.10) GTX 1050 4gb (£167.82) It's only for the next couple of years until hopefully GPUs prices are all over the place. What would you pick?

What with GPUs being quite expensive at the moment, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a GPU that represents good value? I've just bought a second hand PC with a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU and it's currently got a Nvidia GT 710 (2gb) GPU. I like simulation games like the Sims, planet coaster etc and...

Hi, I'm planning on building my own PC and would just like to clarify a couple of things with regards to an anti-static mat. I've seen this one on eBay: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F222674874136 Obviously I place the mat on the table to...

Hi all, i'm looking to build a PC and wanted some opinions. I will predominantly use this for gaming. I like games like: Sims 4 + expansions, Planet Coaster, GTA V, Cities in Motion, Transport Fever... Basically simulation type games. I've put together a parts list...

Thank you for taking the time to reply, I think I might opt for the use system as its a fair bit cheaper and can always upgrade the GPU in the future when finances permit. Thanks for your help.

Hi all, I'm dying for a new PC (currently using a 2011 iMac) and wanting to change back to Windows for gaming. I currently have shared use of a laptop to satisfy my gaming needs but I'd like my own PC to game on. I particularly play Planet Coaster, Cities in Motion, GTA 5, The Sims 4 etc. I have...

Since posting, I've had a look around at various laptops and set a budget of £1,000 as I don't want to spend tonnes of money on this laptop. I've narrowed it down to 2 options Dell - Intel Core i7-7700HQ & GTX 1050 Lenovo - Intel Core i5-7300HQ & GTX 1050Ti Which would you choose? Both have...

Thanks for the replies, you've really helped make things seem much clearer. Originally I was planning on attempting to build my own desktop PC, but upon reflection, it would be nice to have the option to take it with me. I'm not fussed on it being small and light, so long as its powerful -...

Hi, I currently have a mid 2011 iMac which has started slowing down. I'm looking to buy a laptop because then I can take it on holiday with me. However, I enjoy playing simulation games like The Sims 4, cities in motion, cities skylines, tropico etc. And also enjoy GTA V. (I have to use my...
